Can I replace my BMW diesel engine with a VW diesel engine?

Oct 07, 2010 by ebaydad | Posted in BMW

I need to replace my BMW diesel engine and I'm wondering with I can use a VW diesel engine. If you have the knowledge, please let me know. Thanks.

The only knowledge I have is that it sounds wrong. Why would you do that? Get another BMW engine. If its too much - buy a complete VW instead and leave the BMW behind.
